Read the full comparison →What we are not
- We do not bill by the hour. We sell outcomes, not timesheets. If hourly is non-negotiable on your side, a freelance platform is the right tool.
- We do not take equity instead of cash. We are a service business, not a co-founder substitute. If cash is not on the table, a real co-founder is the next step.
- We are not the cheapest, and we do not try to be. If hours-per-euro is the only metric, a lower-cost staffing option will win on price and the comparison ends there.
- We are not the right call for already-profitable companies that just need raw engineering capacity at scale. A staffing firm is built to add headcount at scale for that job.
